DEATH OF HENRY EDISON BEARD.

ED. JoURNAL:-A gloom has been cast
over the entire neighborhood by the death
OF one Of our noblest young men, Henry
Edison Beard, eldest son of Alexander and
Mary L. Beard. He was born Sept. 10Th,
1850. Died Aug. Gath, 1887, aged 26 years.
Il months and days. Four days PRIOR to
his death lie WAS nj work on the T. Z. & S.
II. r. He came home on Saturday eve
ming, (the 20th,) and complained Of not
feeling well and kept getting worse until
the following Wednesday, when death re-
lieved him of his terrible suffering, at 4l2
p. NJ. This young man was converted and
joined the NJ. E. church at the nge OF 20,
and lived consistant Christian life till his
decth. He bought a farm few years ago
and had il all paid for, making the pay
ments before they were due, all by the
work OF his own hands. The funeral
services were held at the school-honse, con
ducted by Rev. Wilisie, Of Perrysburg, The
remains were followed to Belleville Ridge
Cemetery by the largest concourse of peo-
pie that ever attended funeral at this
place. which was evidence that young
Beard occupied warm place in the hearts
Of the people.
The day before he was taken sick he sung
his favorite hymn "Will We Know Each
Other There" to his mother. That same
piece Was sung at his grave. A few NOM
ents before he breathed his last lie said,
Mother nm trusting in God" and fell
asleep in the arms of Jesus, without a
struggle. Thus ends life worthy the
emulation OF all. Mrs. GRIpIRAN.

Common Pleas Of Wood county, Ohio:
The Committee appointed by you to examine
the report Of the Board OF Commissioners of
Wood county, Ohio, for the year ending the
third Monday in September, 1884, owing to the
delay in receiving said report, and the pressure
OF professional duties, have been unable to give
said report the careful investigation its i'm
portance demands We submit as the result of
our examination the following:
LIST. Said report does not relate the financial
transactions OF said board for the year in this {:
That II does not show the levy OF taxes for the
year. under general and SPECIAL laws. II does
not show the issuing of about sl3500O OF bonds
for which the county is originally and collater-
ally liable. Other important financial transact
ions, involving very large expenditure OF
money, are not mentioned In said report.
2nd. The law knows no such fund us Gen
eral Ditch Fund as designated in said report,
but the law provides for a County General Ditch
Improvement fund, consisting of taxes collected
on county and township leyies as provided In
sections 1901 and 1902 revised statutes, and all
balances remaining unexpended of special ditch
improvement funds arising from excess of as
sessments on ditch improvements after the ex-
penses thereof have been fully paid. See Re-
yised Statutes 1903. And the payment OF engi

report, we learn in the investigation that the
Commissioners charge per diem and mileage for

have been finally established and their payment
provided for, which we think plain violation
of their powers and duty under the laws pro.

MEMORIAL RESOl

At meeting of the Baptist church in
Middlebury, held October 6, 1887, the
following preamble and resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Uhereas, 1t has pleased God to remove by
death the Rev. Charles IIibbard, for many
years a missionary of the American Baptist
union in Burmah, and more recently Il pastor
in the Baptist churches of Addison county,
under God the founder and first pastor OF this
church, and to whose wise and indetatigablc
labors we owe our existence as church, and
the unencumbered possession of our house OF
worship and parsonage; therefore,
ResOired, That we desire to place upon rec.
ord our high appreciation OF his consistent
and earnest piety, his constant industry in
the work OF the gospel ministry, his readi-
the good OF his church and the salvation OF
men, and the large ability which he brought
to the work of preaching among men the I'M
searchable riches of Christ. We mourn his
loss while we thank God tor what he honored
him to accomplish.
Resolved, That we extend to our beloved
sister, the widow of him who is thus taken
from us, and to their children, our profound
sympathy in their deep afiliction, and assure
them of our earnest prayer that they may
find abundant consolation bestowed upon
them by Him who can "Bind up the broken in
heart and comfort all them that mourn
ResOired, That this preamble and these res.
olutions be spread upon the records of the
church, and a copy OF them be sent to Mrs.

CATTLE DISEASES IN THE COUNTY.
TIE rLEURo-PNEUMoNIA AT ORWELL.

TIE PLEURO-PNEUMONIAA AT ORWELL.
Messrs. Bissell and Drew of the State
cattle commission spent Monday and
Tuesday ut Orwell with DIR. Paige of
Manchester, the veterinary surgeon, ex-
aiming the herds of cattle in the imme-
diate neighborhood of the outbreak of
pleuro-pneumonia on the farms of Messrs,
Root and Hubbard. The most careful
search failed to find any animal in the
least affected. Then the herds of Messrs.
Hubbard and Root were looked over. 1t
was discovered that of the seven cat
tie remaining to Mr.. Hubbard three
were diseased, as were six of the eight
that Mr.. Root had. The commissioners
thought it best to slaughter all of the 10
animals on these gentlemen's premises,
believing that they would all die in the
end and that the sooner they were out of
the way the more quickly danger of the
disease spreading would be done away
with. Mr.. Bissell was in town Wednes-
day and said the commissioners would
have consultation with Gov. Ormsbee
in a day or two, when a decision as to the
expediency of the slaughter would be
reached.
PARASITIC BRONCHITIS AT BRISTOL.
A brief item appeared in these columns
ease had made its appearance in the herd
of cattle owned by Noble i. Varney of
Bristol. 1t turned out to be parasitic
bronchitis. Gov. Ormsbee was tele
graphed to by the owner of the herd on
Thursday, and he sent Commissioner Bis
sell up to Bristol, where were summoned
also DR.. Paige and Commissioner Drew.
Forty-four of the animals-36 calves and
eight cows-were killed. The disease
seemed to be confined to this herd, and
there are no apprehensions of further
trouble from it.
The disease is caused by parasites or
worms in the lungs. 1t is described at
some length in the "Report of the Blu
reau of Animal Industry" in which it is
said that the life history of the parasites
is not fully known that according to
most authorities the disease depends up
on the relative humidity of the soil, and is
therefore most prevalent in low-lying,
swampy pastures containing pools of
stagnant water. The symptoms are thus
set forth: "They begin to appear in the
form of a severe bronchial catarrh.
There is difficulty in breathing and a
gasping, spasmodic cough. During the
paroXysms masses of mucus are Occas-
ionally discharged, with great effort,
which contains eggs, embryos and adult
forms of the parasite. Death from gen
eral debility finally terminates the grad
ual loss of vital powers. Sometimes the
general plugging up of the smaller bron
Chi may bring about sutlocation during a
paroxysm of coughing. 1t is considered
contagious disease.
The commissioners also slaughtered, at
Barnumtown, Monkton, one COW owned
by A. w. Lawrence and quarantined his
farm. The animal had anthrax, from
which Mr.. Lawrence had lost number
of cattle.
Hon. Ii. b. Williams, Hon. w. p. Nash
slaughtered at Mr.. Varneys at 1927.
The State. of course, pays for them.

BOSTON PRODUCE.

There has been lull in the butter market
the past three or four days, and prices are
somewhat irregular, but the situation retains
all the strong features developed lasl week,
and the tendency on fresh made stock is to
still higher rates. For the best creamery in
cold storage 24c is asked, but large buyers
would have no difficulty in getting supplies OF
this kind at y to 23c, and some pretty good
stock can be bought at zoe. Common grades,
from lsc downward, show no Accommodations,
and very little butter can be found under loo.
In fact, the market may be called strong at
both ends and weak in the middle. Fresh
dairy lots from New York and Vermont are
kept pretty well cleaned up at from 20 to 24c
per pound, but only extra quality commands
the top figure. Selections rule at 25c. Long
diaries, including the whole summers make,
rule rather quiet Mt Is to 2lc per pound and
the future OF this grade is somewhat doubtful.
Receipts OF beans have increased, but there
is no peroeptible change in prices as the trade
are bare Of stock and forced to buy in order to
meet the wants of consumers. Handpicked
small pea still command ~ 80 to 81 50 per
bushel and large pea move of at 2.4O to s2.45
Choice mediums are steady at S2.2i to $3.50.
The demand for fresh eggs IL gradually in
creasng and prices have gained II little more
strength. Eastern extras rule at % to 23c per
dozen, and firsts at 90 to axe.
There las been good trade in potatoes,
and prizes are steady. Houlton rose and he
at Is to 75e per Dushel. Sweets have been in
liberal supply. and prices range from 81 to
~ 80 per barrel.
The apple market is "A little tame and prices
are barely maintained Choice hard varieties
rule ut $L75 to ~ per barrel. Fancy grades,
including SHOWS and kings, command 1925 to
s275 andNova Scotia gravensteins go up to
% to $32i per barrel. Exporters are operat
ing cautiously, as advices from abroad are
not encouraging. Pears rangelfrom % to 81
per barrd as to quality. Grapes are plenti-
full and continue at low prices, say from to
DC per pnnd.
There > not much life to the hay market.
Only vert choice grades command SIS per
